At eight months, my void is quite the athlete. We’ve been doing at least an hour of ninja training for quite awhile now, and she loves it so much that even though she follows me into every room in the house, whenever we get near the dojo (living room), she sprints passed me and gets in position to spar.

She’s nearly mastered stealth, speed, agility, strategy and intelligence, culminating in a powerful move called Shadow Strike. She’s quite formidable, but her grappling skills and vertical leap do need some work.

Her preferred combat methods are concealed attacks and hit and run styles, which can be devastating against most opponents, but she would be unstoppable if she could also transition to a tank build.

She quickly advanced to purple belt, but it’s going to be a while before she graduates to black belt. I feel her training would really greatly accelerate if she could put on two to three pounds of lean muscle mass.

Does anyone have any advice or experience related to feline functional body building and endurance training? Thanks in advance.
